Voyeurism/ Peeping Tom

What is the opinion here ? I was reading an article on voyeurism and suddenly the things that any normal (?) red blooded guy would do, as far as I know, is condemned as voyeurism and labelled as a Peeping Tom. For example, if a girl bends forward exposing her breasts and you catch an eyeful, now you are suddenly a peeping tom. Or if she has a small skirt on and she crosses her legs and you catch a dekko of her panties, you are also condemned. Let alone if she is changing and is negligent in closing the curtains, what &quot normal&quot guy is going to look away before having a good look? What about checking out girlie books/porn, is this abnormal ?? I don''t know, but now I feel as if I am a pervert simply because my natural instincts draws my attention to the delights of the female form. I have always thought that these actions were quite normal Am I alone here guys ?

Our expert says:

We need to be careful to not get confused between natural sexual attractions and sensitivity to “sexual stimuli”, the natural tendency to show interest in sexual stimuli (a manifestation of voyeurism) and peeping toms. Your peeping toms are the ones that become obsessive and compulsive in stalking the objects.
